Jewellery Design – From Pandemic Woes to Pink Diamond Luxury
Jewellery design starts with a spark that becomes a story worth telling. The covid pandemic drove us physically apart. Whilst social distancing, we lost the opportunity to hold and embrace one another. This physical divide became an emotional chasm.
During the pandemic, Gerard McCabe Designer Nazanin Mohammadkhani painted the raw and dark emotions she, and all of us were feeling. This process of painting sparked the idea that what we all needed was to touch, embrace, and hold one another again. This was the key to lift us out of the darkness.
This idea evolved into a jewellery design story based on the power of touch. Uplifting jewellery that invokes the importance of those close to us. The joy they bring through the support they give. The Gerard McCabe Amore ring design was created with a rare pink diamond at the centre and surrounding diamond layers of embrace.
The jewellery, captured in beautiful photographs by Michelle Kenney and Claire Pasion, completes the story in this exhibition. Discover the evolution of a Gerard McCabe jewellery story and how detailed the creative process truly is.
When: 1 August – 14 August, Monday to Sunday 9am – 6pm
Where: Centre of Adelaide Arcade
